Principal's Corner
Hi Falcon Families,
What a great week to be a falcon! We had field trips, sunny weather, constuction crew visits, and a general feeling of tying up loose ends around the building. Our students are excited for a four day weekend, and I am sure we will all enjoy some extra time with loved ones.
As Memorial Day approaches, it's important to slow down and remember what this day is all about. We want to thank all of our Ixonia and OASD families who have dedicated their lives to protecting our country, in some cases paying the ultimate sacrifice. To all the family members of our armed forces, thank you for your sacrifice as well, and for sharing your loved ones to help keep our country safe. We hope that you are able to celebrate Memorial Day in a meaningful way!
Next week, please remember that school will resume on Tuesday, 5/28. The following week (the last week of the 23-24 school year,) students will attend from Monday 6/03 through Friday 6/07 (half-day schedule). Please reach out if you have any questions about the schedule!
Have a wonderful weekend, and we'll see all of our falcons back on Tuesday!
Thank You-
Kelly Boldt

PROJECT UPDATE
Plumbers and electricians are working inside the new addition while iron work is completed. Roofing should begin after Memorial Day and both roofing and exterior enclosure of the new addition are on track to be completed near the end of the school year.
Work on the paved path connecting Fireman’s Park and Ixonia Elementary was completed last week. Brinkmann Construction also donated loose stone that was spread in the courtyard area, which will be fully enclosed by the new addition. The Ixonia PTO is brainstorming ideas for the courtyard space for the future.
ASK THE BUILDER
Our construction partners at CG Schmidt answered questions from our students about their work on our new addition. This week, we’ll learn about the tools that construction workers use to pound in nails.
